The investigation into the great
Baltimore & Ohio railroad disaster
near Republic, O., has been closed.
The coroner finds that freight engine
No. % was in unsafe and unservicea-
BILE condition. and that officials of the
road had been notified of this fact,
but still allowed it to be used. The
engineer of the freight train, Edward
:. Killer. was not intoxicated, as
charged, but was worn out with 10
hours and so minutes continuous
duty, with a green fireman and poor
engine. He had plenty of time to
get to Republic from the Seneca sid
ing but his engine was so poor and
leaked so that the fires were put out
and it died on the track at the point
of collision. The conductor of the
freight, L. F. Fletcher, failed in his
duty in not tagging the limited eX-
press, for he knew the engine had
died 10 minutes before the express
was due. The brakes ON the express
were inferior and ineffective, for they
failed to diminish a speed of 43 miles
an hour more than One-half in dis
lance of 1000 feet. The manner of
heating and lighting the cars of the
express train was inferior, unsafe and
dangerous and contrary to the laws
of the state of Ohio. Had lighting
and heating been proper the cars
would not have burned and the loss
of life would have been very light.
He finds that the persons killed came
to their death through gross negli-
gence on the part of the officials and
managers of the railroad and of Con-
ductor Fletcher.

No section of our Atlantic seaboard

No section of our Atlantic seaboard
is deeply concerned in the subject of
coast defences as that which extends
from Boston TO New York. There are
other sections equally or more expos
ed to the attack of a hostile feet. but
none which presents so much wealth
to tempt the greed and spite of an
enemy. Boston has oyerS1 200. 0O0,-
900 worth of property exposed to the
ravages of the foe, against which
Forts Warren and Independence
would be but cob houses so far as
any protection is concerned. Fort
Winthrop is a more modern structure,
but its equipment is old-fashioned. and
It's guns cOuld not touch a vessel
which might lie without range of
them and leisurely batter down
the walls. Providence and Newport,
the former with $3.50, 900, 900 worth
of property, comes next. Then comes
the sound, with New London, New
Bridgeport, Nofwalk, and
lastly New York city.

TorHE PEoPLEo VERMONT

Having been appointed recently by the
Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, Vice
Regent for this state, | am naturally anx :
iouS that its people should contribute to-
wards the fund we are trying to collect
for the purpose of endowment. Fault is
often found because the public is requr-
ed to paw for the privilege of visiting
Mount Vernon and viewing the historic
ground SO dear to every American-but
it is forgotten apparently that this is I'M
fund large enough to make the interest
pay for keeping the place in proper repair.
AS is well known, the property was bought
from Gen. Westinghouse heirs by the wo-
men of the United States, because the
said heirs were unable to hold it any long
er. The expenses of keeping up the es-
tate now are very great $50 great indeed,
that after everything is paid we have a
very small surplus which goes to the Ell :
dowment fund.- as the employment of
the farm work, but for the house ITSELF
as visitors arrive daily, and must be
shown over the house, and also watched
closely, in many instances, to prevent the
theft of door knobs and clock weights, or
the defacing of the halls and wood work.
These are some of the reasons why
Mount Vernon is not ''open free" to the
public, and as Vermont has never been
represented in the Association before I
am very anxious that the people OF the
state should subscribe largely. Any one
wishing to do so will please send check
or p. 0. order to the following addrt s. :

for Vermont, Mount Vernon Ladies' As
sociation, Bellows Falls, Vermont

WA SHIN GTON LETTER.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR.

Washington. Feb. 81. :
The weeks work in congress can
be readily epitomized. The senate
gave its consent to Capt. Ead's Ship
Railway scheme across the isthmus of
Panama, wrangled as it always does
oyer the appropriations for rivers and
harbors, and voted away millions by
passing a number of bills for the in
crease of the navy. The house of
representatives has devoted most of
the time to discussion of the money
bills which run this government,
which invariably provoke debate and
which must be disposed of before the
4th of March, otherwise an extra
session would be necessary.
Both the senate and house again
passed the anti-polygamy bill, this
time as it came amended from con-
ference, and the measure is now
ready for the president to make it a
law by affixing his name.
There was an interesting debate
oyer this question. Senator Vest
said that, as matter of course, the
bill would become a law, but he could
not vote for it. He was well aware
what the public sentiment of the coun-
try was, but no amount of criticism
would affect the performance of his
duties as a legislator. In his judg-
ment it violated principle of the
constitution, as to the rights of prop
erty. He considered its provision as
to the Perpetual Emigrating Fund
Company, simple, naked, bold confs-
cation, and nothing else. 1t took
money subscribed by individuals and
applied it to an object (public schools)
not contemplated by the corporation
The same thing might be done in re-
gard to any other religious corpora
ton in this country. It was no ans
wer to say that it applied only to the
Mormon church.
The senator said he recOllected a
time when, in this country, a storm
of popular madness threatened to de-
stroy the Roman Catholic church, with
all its rights of property, and when
it was preached from the pulpit and
hustings that that church was oppos-
ed to a republican form of govern
ment, that it taught treason, that it |
should be abolished and its property |
to the treasury of the
United States.
Another feature of the bill which
he could not support was the test
path imposed upon voters and per-
sons elected to office, He knew some
hing about test oaths. He had gone
through an era of prescription on ac-
count of them.
Senator Edmunds denied that anv
principle of the constitution in re-
'pect TO the rights of property were
Violated in this bill, and as to test
paths, he said they had been careful

or had been obliged to take one. Tb< )

1t is expected that the soldiers
home will be opened about May 1st,
and the present dwelling will probably
accommodate about 20. Already %
applications have been made for adj
mission to the home, and if it opens
with that number it is predicted that
there viii be 30 inmates within two
years. 1t is thought that additional
buildings will be erected and devoted
exclusively to the use of the disabled
veterans. and it is recommended that
each of the G. A. r. organizations
contribute a small sum to furnish the
present home, and, later on, when the
additional buildings are erected, then a
room each, which will completely equip
the whole in first class order. The
home at first is likely to be somewhat
crowded. All inmates will probably
wear the regulation uniform. The
finance committee held meeting the
other day to talk over the plans and

The election in Germany on Mon
day appears to have resulted in a ma
jority for Bismark and the govern
ment. 1t is therefore expected the
tone of that country towards France
will continue one of parliamentary
firmness, but peace is meant quite as
much as war, as Europe has at pres
ent too much of the disturbing ele
ment to desire a general war, how
ever Germany and France may feel
toward each other.

There is peculiar story in relation to
the large. creamy looking blocks of candy
that have been peddled around the streets
for the last month or SO, and a story, too,
With romance.
Several months ago Turk strolled into
an uptown confectionery and made some
purchases in tire candy line. He re-
marked after eating few that the flavor
was pretty good, but far inferior to a
certain connection known to his country
men. The proprietor began to grow in
terested, and before the Turk had left
agreed to employ two of his cousins, who
were candy makers in Turkey if he Cthe
Turk would import them. Some two
months later the Turks arrived ON the
the steamship Helvetia. BY relating some
wonderful yarns Of their abilities as
candy makers the emigration commits
sioners allowed them to pass, although
they had doubts as TO whether or not they
were contract labor"
They went to the confectioner and for
several weeks made ''real Turkish candy"
on a salary. Two weeks ago they
struck for higher wages, and not get
ting them left in huff. They hired a
little place over on the east side and put
out gaudy business sign.-New York

Long Distance Telepboning.

Long distance telephoning has become
such an accomplished fact that at the
principal pay telephone stations in this
city long distance telephones have re.
placed the ordinary telephones, and con-
nection can now he made with Boston
and Philadelphia. ii. l.. Stoddard. the
New York correspondent Of The Philadel-
phia Press, says that at his Office in this
city he has secured connection with his
office in Philadelphia by a long distance
telephone, over which he nightly trans
mits all his news instead of using tela
graph service. The Philadelphia News
has a similar telephone connection with
this city. The DISTANCE from New York
to Philadelphia is ninety-iive miles, but
the sound Of the voice is transmitted
much more clearly than by telephone in
this city, where the induction caused by
the enormous number of wires covering
the city closely is so great as to seriously
disturb transmission. The use Of the tcle-
phone in the sending of news has not
been sufficiently tested to compare it
thoroughly with telegraphic service, but
Mr.. Stoddard says that it has many ad-
vantages, and predicts that it will come
into general use.-New York Tribune.

The "roddy Drawer" OF Ceyion.

The drink called ''toddy" is the juice
extracted from the cocoanut palm, and is
collected in earthenware pots~called
''chatties," into which the sap runs dur
ing the night from an incision made in
the spathe. In the morning the "toddy
drawer" connecting his feet by a piece
OF rope, swarms up the smooth trunk Of
the tree with which he intends commen-
cling operations, and, having reached the
lofty summit, he empties the contents of
the chatty into vessel attached to his
waist. In order TO save himself the fa-
tigue Of descending each tree and ascend
ing the next in succession, he passes from
one to another by means Of two ropes OF
one of which his bare feet rest, whilo
with his hands lie holds ON TO the other.
These ropes in course Of time become
untrustworthy from exposure to weather,
and have TO be occasionally changed.
But too often the unfortunate rope
walker, grown careless by long immun-
ity from accident, neglects to renew his
perilous bridge, and the swapping of
either rope causes his death. Were the
lower rope to break, there might still be
hope of clinging to the other, and so
working his way along; but should the
upper one break, obviously there is little
chance of his saving himself, even though
the other remained sound. From this
comes the proverb: IF the supporting
rope breaks ones mainstay is gone. -
